Answer:

Mass if the amount of matter in something, while weight is gravity acting on mass.

Explanation:

Mass is the simple measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by the object on the area beneath it as a result of gravity or another attractive force.

Answer:

There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on the earth, moon, etc.

Which solution has the lowest freezing point?

Leokris [45]

Correct Answer: Option 3 i.e. 30 g of KI dissolved in 100 g of water.

Reason:
Depression in freezing point is a colligative property and it is directly proportional to molality of solution.

Molality of solution is mathematically expressed as,
Molality = $\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Weight of solvent (Kg)}}$ 

In case of option 1 and 2, molality of solution is 0.602 m. For option 3, molality of solution is 1.807 m, while in case of option 4, molality of solution is 1.205 m.

Thus, second solution (option 2) has highest concentration (in terms of molality). Hence, it will have lowest freezing point

Half of the first 18 elements have an odd number of electrons, and half have an even number. Show why atoms of these elements ar

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.

Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.

The atomic orbital and radius increases by gaining electron linearly so even electron numbered atoms are diamagnetic while the odd electron numbered atoms are paramagnetic.

Running through the first 18 elements one can observe that there is an alternative odd number of electrons and an even number proofing that that half of the first 18 elements shows paramagnetism and diamagnetism respectively.
